Resident fees are income-based (a percentage of the resident's net income, reported as either 80% or 90% depending on source - see pricing notes), functioning as a built-in sliding scale rather than a fixed market rate. Facility participates in the VA State Home Per Diem Program (38 CFR Part 51), under which the state receives per diem payments from the VA for each veteran resident.
